"What do you fear the most?"

"A world in which there is no "shape", "truth", and "reason".

A world in which I am not needed."

I couldn't remember exactly what he said in this moment but it was sthm along these lines. When i first saw this scene I thought it was really interesting. We get it near the start of the anime where this mysterious and very unknown medicine peddler guy is out slaying mononoke for whatever duty bound reason. This scene comes up and he is faced with what he truly fears most in the world, even though he knows its only an illusion. "A world where there is no "shape "truth" and "reason". Which is seemingly all this guy seems to know, so practically his entire existence and identity from what we know. I was really curious as to what he was gonna fear and tbh this wasn't what i was expecting. but shed some light on his character a bit. I might be reading into this way more then it could've been intended too but it kinda seems like despite his cynical nature and kinda "tired-of-it" attitude he doesn't know anything more then this life. maybe that cause he's not human (?) seen some where people saying he (along with the rest of the medicine sellers in the universe) are Kitsune (which would makes sense with the intentional fox-featured designs) Regardless, maybe it was because he knew it was only an illusion but some ways it looks like he just embraces it. Theory - despite it being all he knows he is also so tired of it all and in some ways wishes it to end. Idk i like theorizing about this guys psychology, we don't get a lot about him and he's so aloof, i love how little the anime lets us see from his perspective.

every time they show a new ffxiv meteor render for an expansion where they sculpted him even hotter, i come closer to understanding haurchefant and zenos. i, too, would take an easily avoidable giant spear to the heart so i can die in his arms or bring about the end of the world so i can slip into his dms

So this is not a plea for money. This is something that surprised me, and chatting with people on discord, they were unaware of as well.

Discovered last year I couldn’t look at my 2015 MacBook Air without it triggering nausea and migraines, and figured the screen died. Have been getting by on my phone, but concluded I really need a laptop again.

Saved up, realised I could afford a brand new MacBook Neo, and got one.

-And I couldn’t spend more than five minutes looking at the screen without massive eye strain, nausea, vertigo, and if I pushed it, I-need-to-lie-down-in-a-dark-room-for-hours migraines.

Looking up MacBook and Eyestrain explained what is going on. The liquid retina displays that Apple currently has uses Pulse Width Modulation or PWM. In order to give the screens a deeper depth of colour and contrast, PWM flickers between several hundred to thousand times a second.

And there is currently no way to turn it off. There are settings and apps to reduce it, but there is no way to stop the screen from flickering. Checked Apple forums, called Apple Support, and the time I could look at the screen kept shrinking. Got the laptop Tuesday, returned it Friday, today is Sunday and I’m still dealing with a vertigo migraine.

For MacBooks, it seems to vary on the computer model and the software it uses. In retrospect, the issue with my MacBook Air started after a major software update.

And it’s not just an Apple thing. Current Windows and Android screens do the same thing. There’s even a Reddit for people who are sensitive to PWM flickers to help find computers and screens that won’t trigger eyestrain and headaches.

So, yeah. This week has been a learning experience. But for those who are prone to headaches and migraines, this may be something to be aware of, cause I was not.
